Points on the Same Line

Given a set of n distinct points in the plane, the maximum number of points that lie on the same straight line is returned.

Problem

Given a set of n distinct points in the plane, find the maximum number of points that lie on the same straight line.
Input: A set of n distinct points in the plane.
Output: The maximum number of points that lie on the same straight line.

Solution

by elrichendelgart 
The optimal solution for this problem is to use a brute force approach, checking every possible pair of points and finding the line that passes through them. This is an O(n^2) algorithm, which is optimal because there is no way to solve this problem in less time.
A.I. Evaluation of the Solution

The candidate's solution is correct and demonstrates a level of completeness. The candidate has correctly identified that the best way to solve this problem is to use a brute force approach.
